There is an Aikido/Kenpo place in the next town over that is not too far away.
For a true beginner (other than cardio DVDs of "kickboxing" have never done any martial art stuff) who is athletic but "old" (40) is there a style that would be best suited for me?

Depends on what you want to gain from it.
Do you want to compete?
At what level and in what (forms, point fighting, judo matches, cage)?
Are you looking for more self defense oriented? Sport/fitness? Mind/body?
